    A few options come to mind that I didn't see yet

    1. L4D2; Classic, awesome multiplayer, there where some mods back in the day to get servers to have well above 4 players on each side
    2. Phasmophobia; Ghost Hunting; good coop game, especially if everyone stays to in-game communication
    3. Barldur's Gate 3; PC release is in about a week; the early access was pretty fun in coop; just like Divinity: Original Sin 2

    Others I saw above that I agree with, GTFO, DRG, Satisfactory, Minecraft

    I've used my fair share of Spotify Premium, it's what I currently use. I feel like $9.99 was a nice sweet spot price wise; I'm conflicted, I feel like, compared to something like Youtube Music, it's auto playlists based on stuff you listen to are a little better. My main worry would be, since this is just a dollar, what if it becomes another dollar later, and then suddenly it's $14.99 which is above what I would say is worth it.

    Youtube Music is alright; minus the website. As a phone app, it's pretty good, nothing special, works well for me; the website, not so much, I've had issues with it, especially on long playlists,...

    Youtube Music is alright; minus the website. As a phone app, it's pretty good, nothing special, works well for me; the website, not so much, I've had issues with it, especially on long playlists, the website can just flicker and forget where I was, not an issue I've had on the mobile app.

    I guess my main gripe, even if minor, is that Youtube Music bleeds over a bit more into regular Youtube than I would like for some stuff; ex. liked videos gets filled up with Music stuff. That is a minor issue yes, but it can be annoying to me sometimes.

    Heck yeah, once I get deeper into the game and feel like I fully understand the mechanics a bit more, I'm down!

    Right now the main game I've been getting into is Total War: Warhammer III; bought it during the summer sale and I've been going through, learning how to play and getting a feel for it. So far it's been pretty fun, I went through the tutorial and then started Realms of Chaos. Feels a little hectic sometimes, bad decisions that backfire, but my empire survives none the less.

    Planning on possibly taking a break from it and playing a few games on my backlog, like Scarlet Nexus or Tales of Arise.

    I'm sure it'll have to go bye bye soon, he did say they where down 50%; I'm sure all the "ad money" he gave to those big accounts isn't helping; Me and a bunch of other people I know who just browse twitter normally got suspended today, and it's been getting worse with suspensions recently. Maybe the end is sooner than expected.

    Twitter rebranding to X just seems like an odd move, like it just seems like Musk is doing changes just to prove he can. Twitter as a brand had so much brand recognition to it, now it's just all gonna be "X"?
    Combine this with all the other recent changes, my question is, is he trying to just kill the platform, or just spur of the moment "why not" type decisions?
